I would like to modify my automation to turn on my Yamaha A4A receiver and select Scene 6. I’m unsure how to use the select_scene service found in the documentation.
For context, I’m trying to set this automation up in the visual editor as part of a larger automation for my home theater system.
action:
- service: yamaha.select_scene
data:
scene: Your_Scene_Here # it is case sensitive so be careful with capitalisation
target:
entity_id: media_player.your_yamaha_media_player_here
I had not added the following to my configuration.yaml file so I did.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: yamaha
I restarted HA and got the following error:

Any thoughts?
I have an RX-V679 and have only configured the MusicCast integration. When the amp is turned on I have two entities for its primary zone: media_player.lounge from the MusicCast integration and media_player.lounge_2 from the media_player component. This second entity supports scene selection:
However, media_player.yamaha uses the Python rxv library, and others have reported issues with more recent receivers like your error message suggests. This issue includes a comment from someone with an A6A: Not working with RX-V6A/TSR-700 receiver · Issue #67 · wuub/rxv · GitHub . Perhaps that will help you narrow down a solution…
Alternatively, maybe you could create your scenes in HA and use an automation to set all the parameters via the MusicCast controls?

@Troon does this mean that you did not add media_player: - platform: yamaha to your config file? If so, how are you able to call the yamaha: Select scene service? The only way from me to call a yamaha service was to add that entry to my config file during the brief time that the Yamaha Network Receivers integration worked (before HA started spitting the error I mentioned in my original post).
I took a look at the issue you linked. Seems like folks decided to ditch the Yamaha Network Receivers integration and use the MusicCast integration. I know the latter allows you to switch sources, but I do not see a way to switch scenes
If there’s an easier way to select a scene for my receiver in HA I’m all ears. The Yamaha Network Receivers integration seems buggy so I’d rather not use it if possible.
It seems to be auto-discovered: then the service is available.
Same here — I was suggesting that you could define equivalents to scenes (source & processing selections; unrelated to HA’s own Scene feature) within HA, and use automations or scripts to select those.
